The Great Escape

It's dark and windy, the moon is shining high. The time is a couple of hours after the 7pm curfew at hostel B5... A bunch of girls and the freedom of a late night movie show- the only thing that lies between them is a wall topped with barbed wire. Did they scale it and discover rebellion? Or was the stunt confined to their imagination?

They finished their dinner, gathered near the lowest part of the wall, checked if anybody was around. No one. One by one they jumped out from between the wall and the barb wire, braving bruises and nervousness. They landed on a heap of garbage and made their way out onto the road across mounds of red red mud. The dogs howled in celebration of rebellion and the girls enjoyed a really crappy movie, a midnight coffee and the moment's freedom.
The end.

P.S. Undergrad at Andhra University.
